INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL

Congratulations on purchasing
the Medicus PowerMeter™, the
perfect way to measure your
swing speed while you practice
or play. Lets face it, swing
speed equates directly to
distance, and greater distance
will get you to the green a lot
easier!
Unlike many swing meters, the
PowerMeter™ will work in any
weather or light conditions and
can be used on both woods
and irons. A highly calibrated
instrument, the PowerMeter
doesn’t rely on either Radar
signals or optics, but instead
measures the actual force of
your swing, and translates this
into club head speed/power.
While other speed meters and
monitors can be prone to “false
early” readings, the PowerMeter
will deliver true club head speed-
readings.

it will not interfere with your golf
swing or feel.

The Medicus Power Meter can be
easily switched between your Maximus,
your Medicus and your regular driver or
other clubs. On each end of the Power
Meter are the “locking levers”.
Applying a small amount of upward
pressure, these tabs will flip open,
essentially opening up the Power Meter
much like a clam.

Once the Power Meter has
opened, you will see two rubber
tabs at each end of the meter.
The proper placement of the
meter is up on the shaft, almost
where the grip starts. (But not on
the grip!)
Now simply slide your golf shaft
in-between the rubber tabs, then
close the meter around the
shaft. Gently close the locking
tabs and you’re ready to go!
Note that you shouldn’t need to
force the locking tabs closed. If
it feels too tight, then you might
want to look and make sure the
shaft is between the rubber tabs.
If it is, then simply move the
meter down the shaft slightly.
Be careful to observe the proper
orientation of the PowerMeter.
The topside of the meter (the
side that goes towards the grip)
is marked “grip”. Orienting the
meter incorrectly will prevent it
from working properly.
Configuring Your
Medicus PowerMeter
The Medicus PowerMeter™ is a
precision instrument, and can be
used to track your “swing power”
on almost any club you want to
use. However, first we need to
tell it a few things about you.
To turn on the PowerMeter™,
push and hold down the left
button for one second and the
meter will spring to life.
When first started up, the meter
needs to know whether you want
to view your numbers in MPH, or
Kilometers. Pushing the right
button will allow you to “toggle’

INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL
between your choice of speed
measurements. Once you have
selected one, simply hit both
buttons to lock in your choice.
Next, the meter needs to know
your correct height. You can
increase height with the left
button, and decrease the
numbers with the right. Don’t
forget to “lock in” your choice by
hitting both buttons.
The final setting is club length.
This lets you change to almost
any club in your bag, however,
most people will be using their
driver. Put in your club length
using the right and left buttons
again. As an example, if you’re
using your driver, most men’s
drivers are around 45 inches, so
you would choose 45 here, or
the actual length of your driver.
A seven-iron is likely to be 37
inches long, so you would enter
37, or your actual seven-iron
length.
Once you have your basic
settings entered, you will only
need to change your settings if
you go to a different club.

Using the Medicus
Power Meter
Once the power meter has been
configured, all you need to do is
swing the club. Every time you
take a swing, your swing power
number will be shown. If you
want to save your reading, you
can press the right button, and
enter it into memory.
If you don’t swing the club or
press any buttons for 40
seconds, the meter will go into
“standby mode”. You can “wake
up” the meter for your next
swing, (bring it back to ‘ready
mode”) by pressing the left
button.
Using the
Memory Mode
The Medicus PowerMeter™
comes with a built in memory to
let you store up to five of your
swing speed-readings. This can
come in handy for later review.
To enter “Memory Mode”, press
the left button.
Once in “Memory Mode”, the last
reading will flash. To save the
reading, press the right button.
Pressing the left button will move
to the next memory location. If
no buttons are pressed within
four (4) seconds, then the
PowerMeter™ will automatically
return to the “Ready” mode.

volt batteries. You can use
Energizer CR2032, Duracell
DL2032, or equivalent batteries.
To replace the batteries, simply
remove the two Phillips head
screws on the back of the meter,
and lift up the cover. Make sure
you use the proper orientation
(the + or positive faces up), then
replace the cover. As with any
Lithium battery, make sure you
dispose of the used batteries
properly.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Question: When I swing, I’m
not getting any readings. What
could cause this?
Answer: The first thing to check
is that the unit is on and in the
‘Ready” mode. If the screen is
blank, press the left button to
“awaken” the unit. Note that the
unit will enter “Standby” mode
after 40 seconds if there is no
swing, and that any swing less
than 20 mph will not register.
Question: The meter is on, but
when I swing, the numbers are
either way off, or there is no
change to the readings.
Answer: Make sure you have
the PowerMeter™ oriented
correctly, with the end labeled
“grip” closest to the edge of your
grip. Having this reversed will
cause the unit to not work
properly.
